Um, learning manipulate, or learning to teach manipulate?
The former, is actually just 100 ranks of Empathy I'm betting. Taught a 19th circle empath with 95 ranks linked to another empath. The teacher, which is a 40th circle empath (and/or 200 Empathy, they're about the same), manipulates the student, and manipulates a creature in the student's presence.
The later, well, I taught my first student, the above mentioned empath, with no special training except being 41st circle with some 207 Empathy.

I'm on Aesry. Feel free to either gweth me, or look for me playing with the winged critters on the cliffs [la'tami]. I can teach you to manipulate (and guard you on the cliffs if need be).
Renegade Empath Raudhan just arrived.
A cutthroat gasps, "I can't get UP!"
You begin to lecture Reexa on the proper use of the brawling skill.
You cackle!
You strike a heroic pose.

Trylaine, one of the Empath Guardians (not a Guardian Spirit, this is something else) taught it to a few before he/she/it transcended into a different form.

Expansion on Manipulation on 11/03/2007 12:12 PM CDT
Any chance that we could include a summoning ability or perhaps the ability to form a swarm? Kinda along the lines of the Rat King or Lord of the Flies or even a sort of Pied Piper without the music.
MANIPULATE CALL (critter) -- summons a number of the specified critter, based on your concentration (current concentration divided by initial cost). All are manipulated on arrival, so this is not a way for empaths to slam the multi or something like that.
MANIPULATE FIND (critter) -- sends off a manipulated critter to find more of its kind and bring them back. Alternatively, could be used to find a fellow adventurer
MANIPULATE SENSE (critter) -- without the critter name, this would work similar to Perc Health or other farseeing abilities to tell you where critters under your influence are at. With the critter name, would tell you if any of those are nearby and where.
And just because I'm out of real ideas and would like an easter egg or three...
MANIPULATE LEMMING (critter) -- sends all critters of the named type under your influence over a cliff or other deathtrap (more likely they'll all rush off to find one). Could be an ability to mass release manipulated critters instead of having to wait out the effect (or lose all our concentration).
MANIPULATE FAMILIAR (critter) -- (temporarily) converts the named critter into a familiar, pet, or companion-type of being. Depending on the abilities given to it in this conversion, the critter would have to be limited to its normal area or be fully converted so that you can walk away from such places with the critter. Perhaps this one could also work on cursed if not also the undead (something necro-ish or potentially shareable with true members of the guild).
J'Lo, I'm a ranger.. I'd believe anything.....
